The University of Maryland announced Monday it's leaving the Atlantic Coast Conference. It will become the 13th member of the Big Ten.

The Big Ten is expecting another new member on Tuesday.

Reports say the University of Rutgers is likely to make the same move, leaving the Big East Conference.

"Those of us in the University of Nebraska Athletic Department want to welcome Maryland into the Big Ten Conference. We look forward to competing against them in future years," said Tom Osborne, athletic director.
